Westpac today followed CBA’s lead in raising fixed home loan interest rates.

Westpac has increased its 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year fixed rates for owner-occupiers who pay principal and interest by 0.10 percent.

Last Friday, CBA increased its 2-, 3- and 4-year fixed rates for owner-occupiers by 0.10 percent and ING increased its fixed rates by 0.05 to 0.20 percent.

Sally Tindall, Research Director at RateCity.com.au, said, “Westpac has followed big four-bank rival CBA in raising fixed rates.”

“These rate hikes suggest that the days of ultra-cheap financing may be numbered,” she said.

“While the RBA insists that the next cash rate hike won’t come before 2024, banks expect funding costs to rise once the borders are reopened and the economy recovers.

“While Westpac’s rate hikes today are relatively small, people in line for a home loan who haven’t locked their rate will understandably be upset.

“Westpac has kept its one- and two-year fixed rates for owner-occupiers paying principal and interest below 2 percent to stay competitive in a market of record refinancing.

“Even though the fixed rate writing is on the wall, the party isn’t over – there are still 154 fixed rates below 2 percent,” she said.
